The taskforce incorporates umbrella trade organisations, Business Visits and Events Partnerships (BVEP) which rep- resents the conference, exhibi- tion and outdoor events sector, the UK Live Music Group which represents the UK’s live music industry, and events and en- tertainment technology trade association the Professional Lighting and Sound Associa- tion (PLASA).
